A landless-peasants movement secured World Bank funds by occupying state offices.

Evidence

These broader networks extended beyond individual settlements to the MST and the Agricultural Workers’ Unions. The MST’s inclusive approach enabled it to incorporate both expropriation-based and marketbased settlements into its broader organizational fabric. Together, through this network, the MST mobilized settlers to occupy state offices, a well-established MST strategy for “taking resources” through direct confrontation with state power (Starr et al., 2011, p. 111) to secure World Bank development funds and direct them towards the settlements. — Jessica Carrick-Hagenbarth, Institutional Bricolage and Commoning…, 137
